摘要: The addition of a water-soluble extract from cacao-extracted powder (CEPWS) to cariogenic model food, white chocolate-like diet that contains 35% sucrose, significantly reduced caries scores in SPF rats infected with Streptococcus sobrinus 6715, compared control fed diet. CEPWS markedly inhibited water-insoluble glucan (WIG) synthesis through crude glucosyltransferases (GTFs) B13N vitro. GTF-inhibitor(s) was prepared three-step fractionation, and termed CEPWS-BT, which is high molecular weight (>10 kDa) heat-stable matrix sugar, protein, polyphenol. When the inhibitory effect CEPWS-BT on examined using purified GTF-I, GTF-T, GTF-U enzymes S. B13N, significant reduction GTF-I GTF-T activity as result adding at low concentrations observed. These results suggest food could be useful controlling dental caries.
